different ideas on what one should strive for in life. There are also different forces that pushed both epics to be written. The Aeneid expresses the Roman idea of pietas which means to show extreme respect for one’s ancestors. We see this in Aeneas when he is pictured caring his father away from burning Troy. He has pietas because he cared so much for his father that in fleeing from Troy he took up his father over his shoulder to save his from certain death. This is not the only major idea in the
Rex In the search for the essence of the tragedy, The Book of Job and Oedipus Rex are central. Each new tragic protagonist is in some degree a lesser Job or Oedipus, and each new work owes an indispensable element to the Counselors and to the Greek idea of the chorus. The Book of Job, especially the Poet's treatment of the suffering and searching Job, is behind Shakespeare and Milton, Melville, Dostoevski, and Kafka. Its mark is on all tragedy of alienation, from Marlowe's Faustus to Camus'
Rock Music and Creativity As the reader may verify by looking at my name, I originate from Cyprus, a Greek island in the Mediterranean Sea. As I grew up in a Greek environment, Greek music predominated in my listenings with a glimpse of classical music added when my studies in the piano encouraged it. My short stay in the States has, apart from many other things, introduced me to rock music. According to Google.com, "rock 'n' roll can be defined as a genre of popular music originating in
advances were made in medicine, in part because of pioneers like Leonardo da Vinci, who studied the human body inside and out and used reason to discover what secrets it kept hidden, rather than accepting (as was common at the time) the ancient Greek idea that sickness was caused by an imbalance of the four elements in the body. The Enlightenment also marked the advent of capitalism, an economic system which, in theory, is a meritocracy in which the skilled producers and traders rise to the top of
Being open to new ideas is a key way to expand your horizons and promote broad-mindedness in expansive ideologies. If anything, to live closed-minded is a terrible waste of the human experience. The only way to cultivate new, innovative ideas is to expose yourself to any and all possibilities that may exist in the realm of reality. Many advancements in science, technology and education stem from scholars branching out their ideas to functions of the unreasonable and downright questionable to sanity
to The best failures are the discrete ones which occur in the privacy of your creative little space. What is so pleasant about these is that the more you fail in private, the less you fail in public, and the best part is that they can incite great ideas in the future. The point is that failure isn’t necessarily a bad thing. 12. The Long Run It wasn’t until she was 58 that Tharp finally felt like “a choreography expert”. All of these little habits and techniques presented throughout this book add
Conclusions regarding knowledge are inevitably and fully the result of the concepts that we use because concepts are inseparable from an individual 's thoughts, memories, and preconceived ideas; however, there are some aspects of a concept that must be addressed when it comes to the existence of a “pure concept”. A concept – void of any bias is likely impossible, simply due to the fact that concepts cannot be exclusive of an individual 's mentality. Concepts are used to interpret, analyze, and evaluate
his character, Odysseus. This physical representation of dream and fantasy worked to convince the people back then to use imagination to try and achieve success, even with the risk. Then, as Frankl was in the concentration camp, he came up with the idea of coping with the struggles by bringing yourself back to reality and getting tasks done by not relaxing in your conceptions. Until the 1970s, when Zinsser’s “The Right to Fail” was published, imagination was prevalent, however, this decade stabilized
concepts. This idea of ownership can degrade your moral and develop your character positively, but ownership is inherently a false concept. Morals across the world vary greatly for a variety of reasons, but it is definite that the degradation of morals will be affected by what someone believes they own. In The Magic Thief series, the main character is a very poor boy who resorts to stealing to obtain food. His morals tell him stealing is acceptable because he does not own

about what happens postmortem which range from the idea of immortality during the days of the ancient Greeks to the belief in reincarnation that is associated with many Eastern religions. These beliefs, along with others similar to them, provide some with a sort of safety net because they know that their essence (soul, spirit, etc.) will continue to exist after they pass. That being said, not everyone shares these opinions and for some the idea of death can be frightening. Don DeLillo’s novel White
(Gardner 14)”, is one of the most significant features of mankind. Individuals are likely to explain their ideas by using their creativity in many different ways. For instance, in literature, using such kinds of metaphors which means a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to a person, idea or object to which it is not literally applicable, is an effective way for the transfer of ideas since metaphors provide selective comparisons that can offer new perspectives on a problem, highlight
The Hedgehog Concept is when one knows one big thing, takes the complex and simplifies it, and leaves the biggest footprints. This concept comes from the famous essay, “The Hedgehog and the Fox” based on an ancient Greek parable. The story of a cunning fox who thinks he knows everything, even how to catch a hedgehog. Then there is the hedgehog that is a dowdier creature that is a genetic mix-up between a porcupine and an armadillo. The hedgehog is minding his own
What is the first thing that comes to mind when the word “art” is presented? Is it a magnificent painting, such as the Mona Lisa? Perhaps it is a pop song that is heard on the radio. Perhaps it is an orchestral combination that unites with an operatic solo to create the symphonic finale of a Broadway production. Maybe it is a poem or a story. It could be a grand display of architecture, a pencil sketch of this display, or a photograph of a glorious sunset on a mountain range. It may possibly be a

give a clear idea of what good and bad truly are, what they are based on and what his opinion of those ideas is’. It will give a more simplistic overview of his first essay, it will also go into greater detail of what he claims good and bad truly are, and finally look at what he is trying to prove with this argument. Nietzsche introduces the differences between what he names later in his first essay the "master morality" and "slave morality." The first master morality is the ideas of the nobles
greater can be conceived.” He first supposes that a person’s definition of God clearly exists in their understanding as an all knowing omnipotent God. He assumes that whether you believe in a God or not, we all have an idea of God in our minds. Anselm begins to reflect on the idea that when one thinks of God, he is something that is greater. Often when people think of God we don’t think of something lowly. Throughout many cultures and even in pagan religions their God or God’s were held to be powerful
Making Thinking Visible To make thinking visible is to put thoughts into actions. One is able to make thinking visible by studying, participating and asking questions. Learning is a result of thinking (Ritchhart and Perkins, 2008). When an educator is transforming thinking into something visible, educators give students more to learn from and build on (Perkins, 2003). For example, when an individual is learning to dance, the dance instructor is visible and demonstrating, which makes it much easier
function without the program. Even the simplest and most unassuming program is still incredibly powerful. The programming world seemed complicated and forbidding for the longest time before Aiden and John helped me learn. They did not seem to have much idea of the process either, but we worked through it and discovered how to work it by the example of the default program. We celebrated every small success and discovery, and we worked through all of the difficulties. We discovered that the brain must
Double think is a central idea in the novel 1984, written by George Orwell, and is used in our world today. Orwell describes double think as “’the power to hold two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them’” (Orwell 322). Therefore, double thing allows the Party to control its population by controlling their thoughts. This is because the citizens can accept both of their beliefs, even if they are contradictory. For example, O’Brien has Winston believe that
